Would like to be able to create brackets/braces for callouts in Snagit

I want to be able to group a section of a screenshot together using a bracket. This lets me call out a group of items, where the existing callout shapes only offer pointers to a single item.

I see a "workaround" post where you use a text bracket. I gave that a try, but it won't work for me because I can't get a long enough bracket unless it's such a large font size that it overwhelms the image. (If it helps, I'm try to group a series of options in a menu bar.)

This seems like a very common/basic type of callout, so I'm really surprised you don't have this. I would use it pretty often.

NOTE: Because I prefer square [ over curly { brackets, my need would be fully met by being able to turn off the border on one side of a rectangle shape.

Nice idea. In the same wein and for the same reason it would also be good to be able to have multiple pointers from one callout for when the items you need to callout are not grouped together. Currently you have to overlay multiple call out boxes to achieve the effect, and that only works if the box fill and frame are the same colour, otherwise you see an artifact of the underlying call out frame cutting across one of the pointers

Do you have a way to decrease the width of the ends of the square brace? I stretched it long enough that the length is nice and thin, but the the ends are very thick. They cover parts of my diagram. The curly brace works better, though.

If I may though add a bit to your demo. You mention to get the original image(s) back to do a repair or reinstall.

May I suggest that before copying the new files and overwriting the originals that you copy the originals to a backup location/folder. Then you can just do the same process, copy the originals from the backup to the stamps folder and overwrite the new ones.

Even better. Keep them all.

Instead of overwriting the originals add the new files with a different name.If we look at the stamps folder (Math Red) we see they are numbered.

Rename the new files (Joe's files). I renamed them 24_Thin-Red.pdf and 25_Thin-red.pdf.

Copy those to the folder and it will not overwrite the original and you can have both styles.
